Athlete Strength & Flexibility Assessment
Athlete strength & flexibility assessments test individual muscles in the body. This helps to be specific when identifying if there are “imbalances” either in flexibility and / or strength in athletes. These imbalances can lead athletes prone to injuries as well as limit their ability to meet their peak performance in sport and training. Once these imbalances have been addressed, a more details look at athlete biomechanics and movements can be progressed. This may include how athletes run, squat, perform step ups or any sport specific movements.
Physiotherapists can help identify these imbalances and develop an individually tailored exercise program to help them meet their peak performance, as well as reduce the risk of injuries. Athletes will often meet a couple times to review exercises and follow up to ensure these imbalances are corrected. Some will also benefit from more traditional Physiotherapy for more chronic issues.
Physiotherapy is not only for when someone has an injury. Prevention initiatives are an important area of Physiotherapy, especially in populations that are higher risk of injury such as athletes. These assessments can be billed under Physiotherapy private insurances plans (sometimes requiring a doctor’s note).
